"Fortran generally requires parameters to be passed by reference"
a common myth, but one that has never been true, not even array parameters
are required to be passed by reference in Fortran.
In fact the Ada permission to pass composites either by copy or by
reference is conciously copied from the Fortran standard!
Back to GNAT and Fortran. The only piece of functionality that I see
missing is the columnwise arrays (which has nothing to do with either
pragma Import, or with Interfaces.Fortran, but rather with pragma
Convention applied to an array.
